Some zip ties are made with such cheap plastic that they snap in cold weather. I've returned two different brands for refunds due to this problem. I'm glad I have a studded tire on the front wheel.

My rear studded tire bead failed and expanded. The whole bead came off the rim. It is a Schwalbe Marathon Winter and I'm trying to get them to replace it due to this defect. They haven't decided what to do with it yet. I've been shuttled to a different department. Studded tires are worth the expense.
